Default CF buckets?

I did a search for not checking before hand and nothing came up so here I go. I'm looking to get a new pair of seats for my EH8. I looking for something nonadjustable like some Sparco Sprints or I found these Tom Motorsports on **gasp** ebay. CF buckets with bracket which would just leave me to get some sliders and the floor bracket. Has anyone had any experience or heard anything about these? How much can you mess up on a nonreclineable bucket seat? The material doesn't look loose like alot of cheaply made knockoffs do. Also does anyone make a harness bar or a 4pt cage(or any cage for that matter) for a 4dr? I don't wanna use my Simpson 5pt harness with out one and say strap it to a c-pillar bar cause thats kinda scary.

Too bad I can't get them without the "Tom Motorsports" lettering on them cause I already asked What does the SCCA require for aftermarkets seats to be used during autocrossing or does it vary from club to club?

Memoryfab's are nice but did you see how long the shipping is? "Availability: 1-2 Months shipping by ocean from Japan or 3 day air-shipping. Please contact us for a shipping estimate if you wish to ship by air." Yowzers! Is that price for the 420 shipped for the memoryfab's for one or for the pair? I think I'm gonna get the Tom Motorsports CF buckets and I'll let you guy know how they are when they come. Hell when my whole car comes since I haven't even got that yet! Bought a new car from Skeletoree here and it's being shipped from CA to WI. It'd be nice if I got both on the same day. It'll be like that Lexus commercial when the guy looks outside and there's a IS300 in his driveway with a bow on the top.

I was thinking about the sparco harness bar but **** there like 300 bucks! Damn Your able to get a roll cage from SWRacecars.com for that much! Too bad they don't make one for the 4dr otherwise I would get a cage for it. Any other suggestion on how to mount a harness?

Never mind I found it. It's basically just a c-pillar bar but on the b-pillar. Only 100 dollars too. No too bad.

Once someone buys one of these, I would like them to beat the **** out of it. If it cracks, gets broken whatever, that means in a crash, the seat is unsafe. Remember, a seat is apart of safety equiptment.

Damn how the hell do you beat the hell out of a seat? I mean you sit in it and seatbelt or harness does the other half of the job. I've never heard of any seat breaking or cracking.
